Product Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OE replacement line for drivers who want the suspension to perform as originally designed rather than change the vehicle’s character. Part number 340031 is manufactured on KYB OE assembly lines using OE-quality components and calibrated damping for factory-style ride control. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 72563 for the same application. It is a rear suspension strut for 2008-2017 Honda Accord and 2010-2014 Acura TSX rear applications, including the specified strut-and-coil-spring assembly replacement procedure noted by the vehicle manufacturer.

What This Strut Helps Address

• Excessive bouncing or unsettled rear suspension movement
• Reduced stability during lane changes and cornering
• Delayed steering response or inconsistent handling feel
• Oil seepage or gas leakage from a worn strut
• Alignment drift caused by flex in a fatigued strut body

Installation Notes

• Fits 2008-2017 Honda Accord, rear.
• Fits 2010-2014 Acura TSX, rear.
• Replace the suspension strut and coil spring assembly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Verify upper mount thread size and lower mount style before installation.
• Inspect related rear suspension components, including mounts and springs, during service.
• For added protection, KYB recommends a strut boot, part number SB108.

Quality Assurance

KYB is a major OE supplier of shocks and struts, and the Excel-G line is built to OE standards on the same production lines used for original equipment components. The 340031 is engineered to restore original suspension performance for compatible Honda Accord and Acura TSX rear applications.
